CIT. AI & Coding Academy, Seoul
Academic first · Independent extension · Verifiable EC

Build stronger ECs from what students are already learning

CIT protects performance in IB, AP, IGCSE and international-school courses first. Students then extend the same knowledge into a separate project with a new question, new evidence and clear student ownership: for KSEF, coding competitions, service, or a defensible technical portfolio.

CIT is an AI and coding academy in Apgujeong, Seoul, teaching in English and Korean. We do not duplicate assessed submissions. Evidence rules vary by university, admissions route and year; awards and admission are not guaranteed.

Competitions: USACO · AI olympiads (KOAI, USAAIO, IAI²O) · science fairs Curricula: AP CS A/P · IB · IGCSE Since 2016 in Apgujeong, Gangnam

What we do

Competition preparation

USACO, AI olympiads, and research challenges: eligibility mapping, training plans, and mock rounds calibrated to each competition's real format.

AI project portfolios

Student-owned work documented with the exact role, methods, evidence, limitations, artifacts, and support a student can truthfully explain.

Admissions-aware coaching

Academic and project planning informed by route-specific evidence rules for Korea, the US, and the UK, while the student owns the work.

Start with the student's current coursework

We map academic priorities, the assessed-work boundary, a realistic independent extension and route-compatible evidence before recommending a competition or portfolio outcome.
